There is currently a prequel to The Exorcist being made, called, "Exorcist: The Beginning." This time the character Father Merrin will be the protaganist in the movie. It will be about him meeting the mesopotamian demon, Pazuzu, who possessed the character Regan in the first film, for the first time while doing missionary work in post-World War 2 Africa.
On the one hand I really enjoyed the drama of the first exorcist, but it annoyes me that they are villainizing (it wouldn't make much sense for me to say demonizing :P ) Pazuzu, who in the mythology was not such a bad demon, he was said to help pregenant women and newborn infants.
Anyway, I look forward to seeing how this movie will turn out, and whether it does justice to the original.
